LUBRICATING MEANS FOR SPINDLES...

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 777,394, dated December 13, 1904.

Application filed February 9, 1904. Serial No. 192,820. (No model.)

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, J AMES BoDDEN, a sub ject of the King of Great Britain and Ireland, residing at Hargreaves Spindle I/Vorlzs, ()ld- 5 ham, in the county of Lancaster, England, have invented new and useful Improvements in Lubricating Means for Spindles, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improved means I for attaching oil-cups to the spindle-bolsters for lubricating what are known as self-contained spindles used in ring -.and traveler and other spinning and doubling frames and also flier-throstle spindles of the same type without stopping the revolution of the spindles or lifting them out of their bolsters.

The manner in which my said invention is to be performed or carried into practical effect will be readily understood on reference to the sheet of drawings hereunto annexed and the following explanation thereof.

Figure 1 is an elevation, and Fig. 2 a vertical section, of the bolster for supporting the spindle, showing the application thereto of an 2 5 improved means for lubricating the same; and.

Fig. 3 is a partial section showing a modification thereof.

cr is the bolster, which is provided with a screw-thread below the top flange and a nut 3 7) for securing the same in the spindle-rail in the usual manner, the lower end of the same at 0 being provided externally with a multiple screw-thread for the purpose hereinafter mentioned.

(Z is the oil-cup, the interior of which at the upper part is chased internally with a multi ple screw thread corresponding with that formed at 0 on the outside of the bolster a, so that the oil-cup (Z may be screwed on outside the lower end of the bolster a, with a portion 4 of a turn, only the lower end of the cup being provided with a square projection at e or otherwise prepared to receive a key or similar instrument for lixing or unlixing the same.

According to Fig. 2 the extreme lower end of the bolster e is made conical, and the inside of the oil-cup (Z is provided with a shoulder at f, so that a liquid-tight joint is made by screwing on the cup (Z. According to the modification illustrated at Fig. 3 the same 010- 5 ject is obtained by leaving the lower end of the bolster square and forming a conical recess at g inside the oil-cup (Z.

I claim as my invention- 1. A bolster adapted to. support a rotating spindle, having its lower end externally threaded, in combination with an oil-cup internally threaded, said cup and the end of the spindle abutting against each other, one with a conical surface and the other with a shoulder 6 whereby a liquid-tight joint is produced.

2. A bolster adapted to support a rotating spindle, having its lower end externally threaded, in combination with an oil-cup internally threaded, said cup and the end of the spindle abutting against each other, one with a conical surface and the other with a shoulder whereby a liq uid-tight joint is produced, said threaded connections between the oil-cup and bolster being of the multiple-threaded type. 7 In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

JAMES BODDEN.
